This guy kept waving the Old Hong Kong flag while the Police below him try and convince him to come down. As Police numbers grew, he only increased his intensity. With so many cameras, phones and videos the Police could not do anything but watch.
I think he is still there.

Replica of the Garrison Flag-the Star Spangled Banner-a 42x30 foot 15 star 15 stripe flag flying over Fort McHenry in Baltimore, Maryland. Francis Scott Key wrote about on this flag on the morning of September 14, 1814.
The original flag is now housed in the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History in Washington D.C.
I believe that these are "Ladakh Prayer Flags"
"Traditionally, prayer flags are used to promote peace, compassion, strength, and wisdom. The flags do not carry prayers to gods, a common misconception; rather, the Tibetans believe the prayers and mantras will be blown by the wind to spread the good will and compassion into all pervading space. Therefore, prayer flags are thought to bring benefit to all.... The prayers of a flag become a permanent part of the universe as the images fade from exposure to the elements. Just as life moves on and is replaced by new life, Tibetans renew their hopes for the world by continually mounting new flags alongside the old. This act symbolizes a welcoming of life's changes and an acknowledgment that all beings are part of a greater ongoing cycle."
I took a crack at the limp flag atop Surrey County Hall last time I was here. But today the wind was blowing and it was nice to see this St George's flag flying properly.
